Starting from actor-network theory and controversy analysis, we show how actors negotiate interests that exist in carnival production project. Our findings demonstrate that the disagreements over material and aesthetic dimensions are temporarily solved by gambiarra, which is the unconventional use of technical knowledge for generating a creative solution in resource and time constraints contexts. We also argue that controversy analysis is an interesting tool to study organizational aesthetics in project management: it allows for understanding the potential conflictual relationship between material/technical and aesthetic dimensions. We conclude by stating that gambiarra can have both positive and negative consequences of generating creative solutions for controversies. 2020 artículo científico 1807-7692 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84165722005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/841/84165722005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/841/84165722005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/841/84165722005/84165722005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/841/84165722005/movil 10.1590/1807-7692bar2020190123 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=841 BAR - Brazilian Administration Review application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração BAR - Brazilian Administration Review (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.17
